A/N: Just a little note to say, this story's gonna keep going. It's kinda like Regrets and Contentment. Just little musings of the life of Cloud and Tifa, with their bundle between them. This new style of writing is my newest creation, I don't know, I'm just brainstorming different ways of writing. Lol, who ever knew i'd actually like to be an author one day. hahaha.. I wish. And also, thanks for the reviews so far :)
It was his favorite weather of all time. The plonk and plunk of water droplets that traveled longer than any vehicle could from the sky to the ground they stood on. Although most ordinary people found it inhumane to even like such grey weather, to him it was simply relaxing. Each drop sent his world into dreams, where he dreamt about almost everything. Most of them were what already existed, but he never tired of dreaming, not of her, and not of the bundle.
The rain was calming, soothing to his mind. Each drop signified a certain symbol, a meaning that only he understood. The first one was peace, and the next love. He was never a man to love anything. But now days, it was what he lived for. It was what made sense.
It was Sunday, the day to relax and kick back. To ready himself for the week ahead.
His eyes didn't open, but he could hear and feel the shuffling around of sheets that sprawled above him and the warm body he held. She was always awake during this time, waiting quietly for that bundle to awake and cry for food. Finding the silence too quiet, he pressed multiple kisses at her temple of which he had his lips rested on. She responded with a twitch and a softened giggle.
A hand on his mouth caused him to stop and open his eyes. His blue eyes met hers and he smiled. A genuine smile that was rare for its kind and she felt privileged to be the only one who ever saw this rare smile. No one else would ever know of this smile that he had. It was a smile that was only meant for her and no one else. There was of course a modified smile for their bundle, but overall, this was his first ever meaningful smile that he vowed only to for her.
"I didn't know you were awake," she choked out in a small laugh as he took advantage in kissing her hand which held his mouth shut.
She giggled even more, but quietly as to not wake the sleeping bundle in the cot not too far away.
"Shhh…" she held his mouth tightly, and inched her lips away from his. "You'll wake Reiyh," she whispered.
She released her hand away after a moment.
"That's what I get for giving you a wonderful morning greeting?" he whispered slightly angry.
She smirked, and dipped in to press a soft kiss at his lips. He was always gentle, always soft in his touch. She remembered what Yuffie had told her the other day, 'A man can only be gentle, if he wants to be.'
She dug her head further into his chest and let out a long sigh.
"Hmm.." he sighed, and traced lazy circles on her palm.
"I love you," she mumbled.
He chuckled softly, "I love you more.."
"Aww.." she pouted happily, "Really?"
"Hmm.. Maybe I-"
"Waaaa" both sets of eyes snatched up to the cot not too far away.
He raised his brows at her and rolled to a stand. He detangled his clothes which had ridden up in the night and then walked over to the crib.
"Hello, sleep well Rei?" he smiled as he bent down to retrieve the bundle.
The cries faded as his father's arms came around him. He was lifted up and hurled over is father's shoulders.
Cloud sat down on the bed again and laid the bundle between them. She looked up to him and smiled the same smile she gave him the day the bundle first saw this world.
A soft knock of the bundles hand against hers made her look down. "You just wanna be part of the conversation don't ya?" Tifa dipped her head down and pressed a soft kiss to Reiyh's head.
Rei gurgled happily and squealed around at his mothers touch.
Cloud watched her interact, multiple times that even he couldn't keep count. Almost each day there was at least one moment where he would spend watching her either interacting with Rei, or just watching her in general. It was in his list of favorite things to do. Then again, so was listening to the rain, but right now, the rain didn't matter as much as she did. Or rather, as much as the bundle right there.
